Roman Kemp says he has "peaked" after Lord Alan Sugar mocked his haircut on X.
The Apprentice boss criticised the 32-year-old TV presenter's "weird", "dead beaver Davy Crocket" trim as Roman hosted BBC One's The One Show on Tuesday (24.06.25).
He wrote on the X: "What a weird haircut Roman Kemp has.
"I know I am a bit old and out of touch with some things, but what is it. @BBCTheOneShow (sic)."
However, Roman felt on top of the world after the business magnate "fired" his hair.

Roman left a comment on Lord Sugar's X post.
He replied: "I've no idea on the true name Lord Sugar, please feel free to suggest one (sic)."
And it did not take long before the businessman made a suggestion.
Lord Sugar, 78, wrote: "Dead beaver Davy Crocket."
Roman reacted to the name with a laughing face emoji.
The media personality - who is a Tottenham Hotspur fan - received a lot of backlash after questioning Arsenal F.C. supporter Roman's choice of haircut.
One person said on X: "@romankemp what a strange comment, unless there is some missed joke here, Roman seems a nice well-grounded lad ...
"Maybe it's a Spurs/Arsenal thing? (sic)"
Another X user wrote: "Why do you care about another man's hair?"
And a third follower penned on the social media platform: "Far better than yours has been - yes you are out of touch."
Roman's fans also jumped to his defence on Instagram.
One user said: "RIP hair. I think it looks great."
A second follower wrote: "He only wishes he was as handsome as you at your age.
"I'd take it as a compliment that he's so bothered."
And a third fan penned: "OMG HOW RUDE. Nothing wrong with your hair xx."
Roman previously admitted he struggles to keep fans updated with his life events on social media platforms because he wants to maintain his privacy, as well as protect his family and friends.
In May, he told the 30-year-old singer Tom Grennan on their 'You About?' podcast: "I'm terrified of doing it because I just think that you're letting everyone in. I struggle with it because I want people to know me. I'm not horrible, but I also want my private life.
"It's also for the protection of other people. I think you wouldn't mind having your life on it but if there are people who are in your life, who aren't in the public eye, it's more for them.

"I also don't want to be sat there thinking, 'This would be a great Instagram picture.' I don't want to live my life like that."

George Clarke breaks silence on new girlfriend as he signs up for Strictly Come Dancing
George Clarke openly admitted to being in a relationship for the first time in his showbiz career just hours before the YouTuber was revealed to be part of this year's Strictly line up George Clarke has revealed the reason why he confirmed his romance with lingerie model Yasmin Amelia just hours before he was announced as part of this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up. The 25-year-old YouTuber, who built a loyal following online with his sharp sense of humour, previously kept fans guessing when it came to his relationship status. Until now, Clarke has often joked about dating mishaps and dodged questions about his love life. But ahead of his glittering BBC ballroom debut, he decided to go public with a girlfriend for the first time. He explained his reasoning on the Useless Hotline Podcast, saying he wanted to take control of the story before speculation started. He shared: "That's part of the reason why we wanted to say something. Because the two options were, say something. You have full control over how it comes out. "Whatever you say is basically how people find out, or it stays private. [It] just sort of takes all the control out of your hands. But then, I [will] just go on stream after that and be like, that's not true, by the way. But, yeah, she's my girlfriend." Fans first spotted hints of his relationship during a livestream, and quickly figured out that his partner was Yasmin Amelia, also known as Yasmin Bennett, a model signed to J'adore Models with over 30,000 Instagram followers. Clarke himself boasts more than 686,000 followers and previously appeared on the Netflix reality show Inside. While many of his fans celebrated the news of his new romance, others were taken aback. One Reddit user wrote: "Caught me off guard because he is a very private person especially about his dating/love life. Even on the pod he has expressed his desire to keep things private and off socials." However, another wrote: "I heard about this on his stream, and I'm genuinely happy for him!" Clarke has also addressed speculation about the so-called Strictly Curse, which what fans call the phenomenon of many stars who join the show leaving their partners for someone they've met during the competition. He quickly dismissed the idea that his relationship could be at risk because of his upcoming time on Strictly, and insisted that he went public about his girlfriend because he wanted to be honest with his fans, rather than as a form of damage control. Clarke also accidentally dropped another interesting piece of information on the podcast, hinting at who he might be partnered with on the show. He revealed that he had already met professional dancer Lauren Oakley in rehearsals, saying: "I've not met anyone apart from, I believe her name's Lauren, who was the pro that I met. Because when we had an interview for it, so it's like an hour long interview, and then like an hour long dance session." Oakley, who joined the Strictly pro team in 2022, has previously competed with journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy and singer JB Gill. If Clarke's slip-up means what it seems to imply, she might be guiding the YouTube star through his first ballroom steps.

In one image the 44-year-old diva from Calabasas had her arm injected with a purple liquid as she was partially bandaged up. One follower asked if she is being injected with what 'looks like a smoothie' and that is exactly what it looked like: 'What are you injecting into your arm looks like a smoothie.' Other fans were more positive: 'Omgggg gurllll youu goooo❤️.' And then there was this: 'Honestly mood skincare everything there,' as well as this: 'Nice cream Kim you going to look younger again.' In one image the 44-year-old diva from Calabasas had her arm injected with a purple liquid as she was partially bandaged up. One follower asked if she is being injected with what 'looks like a smoothie' and that is exactly what it looked like: 'What are you injecting into your arm looks like a smoothie' There was another shot where she had tape and Band-Aids over her eyebrows which may have meant she was having them dyed. And there were two portraits where she had white stuff on her face, which was likely an exotic facial. Kim did nothing to explain what she was up to as her caption simply read, 'The things we do.' On Monday, she was seen trying out the new Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap from her SKIMS line with La La Anthony and Khloe as they jetted to South Korea. They were on Kim Air, which is the star's private jet. Kim wore a brown fur coat over a sheer body stocking by Saint Laurent with red lipstick. 'When in Korea,' Kim wrote in the caption. Earlier this month Kardashian said she thought her 'body was breaking down' before she turned to stem cell therapy. The beauty has taken to social media to share her health journey, revealing that stem cell therapy has helped her to overcome various aches and pains. Kim wrote on Instagram: 'I'm so excited to share with you guys my stem cell journey. 'Two years ago, I tore my shoulder while lifting weights, leaving me in debilitating pain. 'I tried everything to find relief, then I learned about the potential of stem cell therapy and met Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna. 'His team treated my shoulder with Dezawa Muse cells, and the results were immediate. 'I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since. 'Encouraged by this success, I recently returned to Dr. Khan to address chronic back pain that I have been suffering with for years. 'The Muse stem cell treatment was a game-changer once again. I experienced relief right away, and the unbearable pain is finally gone. 'If you're struggling with back pain, I can't recommend this treatment enough - it's transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down. 'Of course, everyone is different, and I'm just sharing what has worked for me lately. Definitely do your own homework and talk to medical professionals. 'Since Muse stem cells aren't yet accessible in the US, I had to travel to Mexico to be treated by Dr. Khan's team. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity and resources to pursue this healing, and I pray the science continues to evolve so more people can benefit. (sic)' The eye pillows said Kim Air on them as the ladies had beds to sleep in Outside a building in Korea Meanwhile, Kim previously opened up about her struggles with psoriasis, revealing that she suffered a major flare-up before the Met Gala. Speaking to SHE MD podcast, Kim shared: 'It's only this one spot [on my face] that will itch. And it will really, really itch when it does. 'When I started to get a little bit desperate was when it started to cover my face, and there was a spot really close to my eye, and it would just burn a little bit. 'I remember I had the Met Ball coming up that week and it was covering my face.'
